Welcome to Guide Connect

Our guides are at the heart of everything we do and the holiday experiences that we create. We are immensely proud to work with a group of such exceptionally talented individuals in each of our destinations, and we love being able to spend time with them during our own travels in Asia.

On most guided holidays, it is typical for guests to first meet their guide on arrival at their destination, usually at their arrival airport.

Now, as a Selective Asia client, you can be introduced to your first guide before you travel, using our new innovative system - Guide Connect.

We believe that gaining a little insight into each other’s interests and lives before you meet will give you both a head start, enhancing those first hours you spend with your guide, and helping to remove any uncertainties about who you’ll be spending time with and whether they’ll be the right match for you.

On a personal level, over the years we’ve been fortunate enough to cultivate meaningful connections and relationships with our guides. Some of our team remain in contact with guides for months and years following trips they have taken. The guides we work with are an exceptional bunch and are truly passionate about both their work and destinations they work in. They know as well as we do that it’s the details in a holiday that can make the difference between a good and a great trip and with this service our aim is to enhance the already excellent service they deliver and take it to the next level.

Your Destination Specialist will be happy to discuss Guide Connect with you and answer any questions you might have. We’re proud to say it’s a service that’s unique to Selective Asia. We’ve fully invested into our guides, to enhance both your and their experience when travelling with us.

Please note: Guide Connect is not operational in some destinations (including Sandakan & Kuching in Malay Borneo, Philippines, Taiwan, South Korea or any stopover destinations) and cannot be guaranteed.

Let's get to work on the greatest holiday you've yet to have...

Our Destination Specialists really do eat, live & breathe Asia. They each travel frequently & thoroughly in their countries of expertise, and have the t-shirts to prove it - not to mention a shelf of unusual cooking ingredients, and a few travel industry awards!

Reaching out...

You may have noticed by now that we're a British company, but please don’t let that put you off! As an experienced international tour operator, we work with a large number of clients who are based around the world, with the majority in the USA & Canada. So you can rest assured that you'll be well taken care of, by people who naturally respond to clients' individual preferences.

Selective Asia trips are never one-size-fits-all, and our approach is to listen carefully to every customer and get a thorough understanding of what they enjoy, before we design their personalized itinerary. What's more, we are fully ABTOT and ATOL bonded, so your booking will be financially protected.

Our team of destination specialists are based on the south coast of England, and
finish work at 7pm UK time - so, 2pm on your east coast and 11am on the west. We
provide you with a toll-free number, or we'll be pleased to arrange a time when we'll
call you to discuss your travel plans. If you prefer email, we can easily do that instead.
With us, it's your vacation, your way.

There’s never been a better time to book with a UK operator thanks to the strength of
US$ against the GB£ right now ensuring you’ll get more Bangkok for your buck than
if you book at home.

Working with US clients for over 10 years

Our team of Destination Specialists have set out to help you decide ‘Where next?’. We’re excited to share with you their insights into what could soon become your best holiday yet.
